Abstract
We live in an age of public engagement. At least, one might get that impression from reading the literature of the fields of public understanding, engagement and participation (PES). Over time, the PES field has moved from understanding engagement as a matter of diffusing scientific knowledge in the wider society to emerging as a participatory concern crucially relying on lay input to even be considered good science (Horst and Michael 2011).
